Abstract

INTRODUCTION: In order to produce well-rounded medical doctors in the future, Islamic-based medical schools in Malaysia and other parts of the world are implementing a special approach in their curricula. The main vision of these medical schools is instillation of Islamic values in their curricula. In International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), a special curriculum namely Islamic Input in Medical Practice (IIMP) was introduced for this purpose. The study aim is to measure the effectiveness of this program on the aspects of knowledge, attitude and practice among our students. MATERIALS & METHODS: The study was conducted at The Kulliyyah of Medicine, IIUM using pre and post-test design. The population was students from intake 2010/11 (n=145). The data was collected through Muslim Medical Student Questionnaire (MMSQ). The first assessment was done right at the enrolment to the medical program, and the second assessment was done after five years upon completion of their course. Data was then analysed through paired t-test. RESULTS: From 145 students in initial assessment, only 102 students completed the second assessment. The remaining number were excluded due to either incomplete forms or delay the academic progress due to failure of subjects. The mean difference between pre and post shows a significant improvement in all 3 measured aspects (p<0.001 to 0.022). CONCLUSION: The 5-year evidence shows our IIUM program is effective to improve the knowledge, attitude and practice
